Hi All,
I read some Protocols for Safe Use of Pyrophoric/Water-Reactive Reagents mentioned "When refrigeration of materials is required, materials must be stored in an approved explosion-proof refrigerator/freezer." As we all know, even the explosion-proof refrigerator/freezer cannot provide dry environment.
Can you share your experience on storing pyrophoric, flammable, and water-sensitive substances such as tBuLi solution in pentanes at low temperature? Great Thanks!
Jenny
